Okinawa cooking small classroom 👩🏻‍🍳Okinawa sea grapes ②

Sea grapes are a specialty of Okinawa, also known as "green caviar." Enjoy the interesting texture of sea grapes by drizzling them with vinegar and soy sauce or making them into sushi. When you bite these beautiful green pellets into your mouth, they emit a sea-flavored aroma. You can also enjoy it with tuna and other sashimi and other seafood to add a beautiful visual effect when serving.

Last time I shared two appetizers with you, today I will share three other staple dishes. Pair them with the appetizers to create a rich sea grape feast!
